Elgin Watches
This site is dedicated to the most popular American-made watch among watch collectors: the Elgin Watch. Elgin Watches were fine, mass-produced watches made in Elgin, Illinois from the end of the Civil War to the end of World War II. Elgin Watches kept time for America's railroads and factories during the heyday of robber barons and industrialization. The Elgin National Watch Company, which made both Elgin pocket watches and Elgin wrist watches, was a pioneer in mass production, and watches were America's first "high-tech" industry.If you are looking for information on Elgin Watches, you came to the right place.
